Long time lurker here. I finally decided to pull the trigger, get my member number and start posting. I’m currently living in the overlanding mecca of the western Florida panhandle where you can’t drive on the beaches and dirt roads are very few and far between. I’m about 3 years out from retirement and I’ve always told the wife I was driving to Alaska when I retire so I’m starting to make the plans.
I have always enjoyed backpacking and bikepacking until my knees started protesting. I’ll take the overlanding approach now and drive in to the adventures. Short hikes or bike rides are still doable and enjoyable without all the weight so I’ll use my rig to do the heavy hauling and get me close and will venture out from there if needed.
I have a pretty good bit of off-road experience from my military time and past Jeeps or trucks but no real overlanding experience.
My current truck is a 1994 Chevy extended cab 2-wheel drive. It’s been a faithful companion but will be getting replaced soon. I plan on buying a Tacoma this year and will be getting it set up over the next few years. Pics and the obligatory build thread coming soon. LOL
